A quick note on proofreading
Any one who criticizes your written work because you didn't proofread well, or you routinely misspell, or you don't always correctly use apostrophes, or you implement the wrong "there", or you use a sloppy or non-traditional style: any one who criticizes you for these things, is an asshole.
Writing is not an easy task. For most people, it takes courage to publicly share ideas. I have almost ten years of experience teaching young writers at university, and I tutored writers for several years in and out of writing centers. I've worked with lazy and rich white kids who and hard-working ESL and EFL students. I don't care what kind of writer I've taught: writing well is a scary thing for the majority of writers. It's a rare student who was naturally confident.
Stop being petty & privileged fucks about blogging. If you regularly circulate stupid photos about how to properly use there, their, they're and you, your, you're and it, its, it's, you are a fucking douche bag. You aren't smart. You aren't cute. You aren't correct.
Fuck prescriptivism.
Let the revolution against Grammar Nazism begin! :)
